Book excerpt: Reconstructing Empress Eugénie's position as private collector and public patron, this study is the first to examine Eugénie (1826-1920) in these roles.

The book also examines representations of the empress, and the artistic transformation of a Hispanic woman into a leading figure in French politics.
